2024 Raising Vocations Collection

2024 Raising Vocations Collection

Why is the Diocese starting the Raising Vocations Collection?

The collection will support young people as they encounter Jesus. This collection will help us reach our Diocesan goal of 30 men in seminary formation by 2025.

How does your gift to the Raising Vocations Collection support Vocations?

This important collection supports ministries that help young men and women discover Christ and accompany them on their vocation journey. The collection is supporting ministries and is sending youth to events like Steubenville Conferences, Blessed Carlo Acutis Youth Day, SEEK conferences, and even more.

Vocations Events and other information may be found at the Diocesan website at: www.gbvocations.org.

Rock Cancer – Join us on August 17th at Doyle Park

The Spierings Cancer Foundation’s 16th Annual Rock Cancer Event is scheduled for August 17th at Doyle Park in Little Chute starting at 1:00 p.m.!

Rock Cancer is the primary annual fundraiser for Spierings Cancer Foundation. It is a day-long celebration of life, music and fun, held on the 3rd Saturday of August each year at Doyle Park in Little Chute, WI. People of all ages come early and stay late to enjoy food, drink, games, raffles, a silent auction—and of course, plenty of music!

Funds raised during Rock Cancer provide financial support to local families affected by cancer, enhance medical care for patients in the Fox Cities and fund cancer research in Wisconsin.

Rock Cancer 15 was a HUGE SUCCESS! We are so grateful for our amazing community and the support you have shown over the years.

Our Rock Cancer Committee is the heart and soul of the event. Without this hard-working and dedicated team we would not have had this astounding success. We truly appreciate them. Learn more about the committee.

Together as a community, we have raised over 2 MILLION dollars to support the Spierings Cancer Foundation’s mission.
